Well, today was a double-header.
This afternoon, I consulted to a family off the Mag Mile who very kindly rescued baby chicks from a less-than-ideal situation after they were hatched at a school. There are two little ones who are doing their best to hang on.
Then I moved on to a family who lost a hen for unknown reasons. Necropsy revealed a very impacted crop due to grass clippings and a thin-shelled egg, broken in the oviduct.

yup or putting them on top of a compost pile and turning it from time to time. doing that would give them something to do. adding more woodchips leaves behind the worm eggs.
